The solution is easy...
Go make a million or two and buy a waterfront home!
Don't make this a rich vs. poor man thing. Coastal access is a rich man's games, has been for a long time...just like yachting and owning a jet. The rich guy busted his ass too and just spent a 1mil+ on a home and does not want a bunch of beer drinking jerks in big SUV's driving in his front yard all night. I don't blame him one bit.
IMO, the state and fed need to be more relaxed on their properties (where there are no homes) and the land is truly public. The cape (and islands) should be more open. The bird thing has me peeved....Move the frigggin birds to nearby islands that have no people or vehicles!
There is nothing wrong with walking the beach anyway.... most of my fishing requires a long walk...Most of us could probably use the exercise anyway.
I disagree with beachwalker in that the purpose of license fees is to reduce the fishing pressure....it just limits the one timers from access...and I agree with this aspect of the fees. I don't think there have been the vast improvements in the beach (due to the fees collected) either....I have not seen it anyway.
This is a very difficult problem to resolve with strong opinions on all sides. I see (long term) the right to drive on the beach slowly disappering and will everntually be phased out altogether. Too many people (who also pay taxes) will have a louder voice and a moral(er) high ground to shout it from will win the day. Sad but true...Enjoy it while you still have it.
